Story behind the song

I was moved by the sadness, yet resiliance of these lyrics

Lyrics

Ghost in a Machine by T. Zen Azee

I am a ghost in a machine
And I’m trying to get by.
You can’t reach me when I get that high.
I am a ghost in a machine
and I’m trying not to cry.
Will you be there when I say goodbye?

I just don’t know how to explain.
To you that means I’ve failed.
But I won’t be the one that fails for real.

I can’t believe with my own eyes
Once or twice I’ve been surprised
But you will never want to be realized.

I am a ghost in a machine
And I’m trying to get by.
You can’t reach me when I get that high.
I am a ghost in a machine
and I’m trying not to cry.
Will you be there when I say goodbye?

How will they tell my family
That there little girl is gone?
She has left to join the Viet Kong.

Now that no one could care less
I want to look my best.
Where the hell did I take off my dress?

I am a ghost in a machine
And I’m trying to get by.
You can’t reach me when I get that high.
I am a ghost in a machine
and I’m trying not to cry.
Will you be there when I say goodbye?

I am a ghost in a machine
And I’m trying to get by.
You can’t reach me when I get that high.
I am a ghost in a machine
and I’m trying not to cry.
Will you be there when I say goodbye?

Will you be there when I say good bye?

Will you be there when I say good bye?
